Simone Biles and other star gymnasts will testify before the Senate Judiciary Cmte. for the investigation into Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor who was accused of sexually assaulting hundreds of girls and women.
"I am not afraid to tell my story anymore. I too am one of the many survivors that was sexually abused by Larry Nassar," Biles wrote.
In an interview with Today, Biles said the abuse was likely a factor in her mental health and performance at the 2020 Olympics, where she withdrew from several events, citing her mental health. "Now that I think about it, maybe in the back of my head, probably, yes, because there are certain triggers," she toldNassar, who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing 10 minors in a Michigan court in January 2018, is serving up to 175 years in prison. He is expected to be behind bars for the rest of his life.
